It's the best way to build React Native apps, with very few exceptions, these days. (I have been building RN apps of all types since it came out in 2015.)
In a rant that was (at one time) legendary, the late Erik Naggum responded to the argument that XML was nothing more than another way to write s-exprs, and if you like s-exprs, the only quibble you have with XML is the syntax.
Erik wrote, They are not identical. The aspects you are willing to ignore are more important than the aspects you are willing to accept. He went on to write a great deal more that I am not willing to quote, but at its core was this same argument:
Sometimes two things seem very similar, but the ways in which they are similar are unimportant, and the ways in which they differ are profound.
My guess is that little aphorisms like this will come into and out of fashion over and over again, because this argument is one we will have over and over again.
Someone pointed this out to me on Twitter this morning and it's an aspect I didn't even think about. Most third-party SDKs have a JS version which generally (not always) works with React Native. Can't really say the same for Dart, so you're almost always doing a native integration or building it yourself.
I used to recommend unroll.me to people but eventually found that relentlessly unsubscribing from things worked better anyway. I assumed they were making money from ads, but should have known better.
I have a few simple rules I follow to hit inbox zero...works quite well:
1. Unsubscribe Relentlessly
2. Use Keyboard Shortcuts or Gestures
3. Snooze Important Emails
4. Use a To-Do App
